NYTISHA GILLIS
Cheerleading is my enthusiasm for my self-directed pursuit of knowledge. I am a varsity Cheerleader at the school that I attend. I’ve been cheerleading since I was younger and three years since I’ve been in high school. I enjoy learning more about cheerleading as I can. I’ve read books such as “I was a Non-blonde Cheerleader” by Kieran Scott and “Brunettes strikes back” also by Kieran Scott. I also read magazines and try to take tumbling classes. I expect to take tumbling classes in the summer where I will continue to work on my cheerleading abilities. I also am present at things such as Fundraisers and Competitions. Television shows impresses me as well to help my ability of learning more and stretching out my knowledge of the things I already know. There are things that I can improve by reading magazines, looking at television shows, and tips from the internet. Therefore, I will improve in jumps, chants, and stunts. Eventually, that will develop our cheerleading squad in the things that we will need to improve in. In the midst of another terrific year of cheerleading I will always have a positive attitude towards it even if I’m having a dreadful day. Mainly, I will always show others that I am a leader and love learning things about cheerleading to have better quality.

Silas
Disdainful of learning
Others say: He just comes around for work
“There’s something you’re not telling me. What is it? Mary, confess. He said he’d come to ditch the meadow for me-didn’t he?”
Inference: By his actions observed by Warren
“But you can bet when he starts off like that it’s just someone trying to coax him off with a little pocket-change.”
Unreliable
Others say: When pay is better else where he leaves
“He bundles every forkful in its place, then tags and numbers it for future reference, so he can find and easily dislodge it in the unloading. Silas does that well. He takes it out in bunches like big birds’ nests. And you never see him standing on the hay when he’s trying to lift, straining to lift him.
Inference: He’s worked for Mary & Warren over the years and would leave in the middle of an important project just for better pay
